A. U. Adopts New Grade Method. INGLE word designations of “passed,” “condition” or “failure” will replace the traditional detailed grades of “A,” “B,” “C,” and “D,” which have been given students’ work at American University, where an experi- ment in the unique method of grading will be conducted for the remainder of the current year. ‘This change, coming on the eve of final examinations for the first semes- ter, is designed, Dr. George B. Woods explained, to determine whether it will ®e more helpful in stimulating good work among the students. It is under- stood to be the first step of the kind taken by any institution of learning in the National Capital. “The idea,” explained Dr. Woods, to place the emphasis on the acquisi- tion of knowledge, and not on grades. It is to get the students more interested in the subject matter instead of keeping them worried over what grades they will get. It is to place the entire em- phasis on what the student can get out of his courses.” Students will be notified whether they got ‘“passed,” “condition” or “failure”.only. For the present the experiment is to last until the end of this year. Then a survey will be made to determine the effect, and whether it is to be continued. Registration for the second semester will end February 2 at the college, and the second semester work will start ‘Tuesday morning, February 3. Mrs. Lucius C. Clark, wife of the chancellor of American University, has been elected president of the Women's Guild of American University.

G. U. Clinic Treats Children. INCE the opening of the academic year at the Georgetown University School of Dentistry many hundreds of Washington school children have re- | ceived necessary treatment in its new dental infirmary, and scores of parents also have been instructed in essential matters of dental hygiene. ywn officials now are arrang- ing to enlarge the scope of the ortho- dontia clinic in conjunction with the infirmary, thereby being able to render an additional valuable service to young children whose teeth are in need of being straightened. With the begin- ning of the second semester, which starts Pebruary 9, Tuesday morning | and Priday afternoon of each week will be reserved for this special treatment. Orthodontia is one of the most ex- pensive phases of dentistry, and it was | with the realization that many fam- ilies in the city cannot afford to pay the usual high fees for such work that the 8chool of Dentistry has arranged to have it done at a very nominal cost. Despite the examinations which start the end of this week in all depart- ments, & number of scholastic events are scheduled. Important among these is the public debate on the question of whether the United States should be- come & member of the League of Na- tions. which will be held at the School of Forelgn Service Wednesday after- noon from 5:10 to 7 o'clock. The de- bate will be under auspices of the seminar in foreign relations, which for the past three months has been devoting extensive research to the League of Nations and its relations with the United States. ‘The affirmative side of this debate will be led by James A. Dorsey, while the negative side will be under the leadership of William Burkinshaw. Dr. James Brown Scott who is in charge of the seminar, will preside. It will take the form of a general discussion of the question by students enrclled in the seminar. \ Women Become Active at N. U.

In carrying out this program, however, the bench does not limit its membership to law students, but embraces also those enrolled in the university’s school of economics and government. Because |of the marked growth of the college department this year the Queen's Bench anticipates its own growth to one of the more important woman stu- dents’ groups in the Capital.

UPPER MARLBORO, Md., Janary 17. —Proposals for the incorporation of two Prince Georges County towns will be laid before the county's delegates in the State Legislature within the next few weeks. A citizens' committee of Seat Pleasant already has approved a proposed bill giving that community a town charter, while the incorporation of Cheverly is being sought by several prominent eivic leaders there. Would Bring Improvements. In both communities ft is asserted | that Meorporation would result in im- proved streets, better police protection and sanitary conditions. In approving & proposed bill, the Seat Pleasant citizens named a committee to present it to the legislature and con- duct an election which will decide whether or not the charter is accept- able to the town. The committee consists of George Redding, chairman; George N. Palmer, ‘Willlam W. Bowman, James Arnold, J. C. Gray, Daniel G. Joseph and Robert C. Kraft. The charter which this committee backs is similar to one proposed in 1924, but defeated at that time. It applies only to Seat Pleasant, Maryland Park having failed to approve the plan after the incorporation of both under one charter had been proposed at a pre- liminary meeting. Provisions of Charter. The proposed charter provided for the election of a mayor and five councilmen annually on the first Monday in May for a one-year term. It empowers the council to borrow not more than $25,000 for public improvements in the town. If the legislature adopts the bill the citizens of Seat Pleasant will conduct their referendum upon it on the first Monday 10 days after the act becomes effective. Mr. Roberson, one of the members of the committee, said today that “while the committee hesitates to pre- dict what the outcome will be when the matter is voted upon by the cit- izens, the progressive business men of ‘the community are now rallying to the support of the measure.” REWARD OF $500 BID FOR YEGGS' ARREST Offer “Good for 60 Days” Only De- velopment in Mount Solon Bank Robbery.

NEW YORK, January 17 (NANA). —The old flat-bottomed stern-wheeler fidgeted slowly up the Sukri through a thick, brooding stillness, “Elght passengers,” said Mather, who skippered the craft, “one ottymobile, a foul-smelling native crew, a British first officer and myself.” John Mather at that time was the only man in Northwestern India with a Connecticut burr in his voice. The boat puffed and snorted like a fat man climbing stairs. It belched cinders and smoke into the vast forest which had its armies of trees up to the riv e. Not a sound could be heard except the preposterous fury of Mather's antique percolator, ribbing her way through the soft, yellow river. ‘The stern-wheeler, called the Pride of the Indus, rounded a bend and came suddenly into sight of & small clearing choked with people. There were hun- dreds, standing in silence, stretching back far from the river's edge until they were lost in the forest. ‘Ominous Mood Noted. It was a small village, but the na- tives had come down from the hills because they knew that a mud bar at that point in the Sukri would prevent the further progress of the boat. Mather knew it, too. A prolonged dry spell had sadly depleted the river. He had been stuck there often before. In other times a few rupees enlisted most of the males of the village, and they shoved the craft over the barrier by hand. ‘The Pride of the Indus was churn- ing mud, then slowly it slid to a halt, | stuck fast in the grip of the bar. A murmur of sound swept from the crowd, rising and falling like rain on leaves. An ominous, brooding note that shiv- ered through the hot afternoon air and was strangled slowly in the close em- brace of the trees. The passengers hud- dled together in terror. The mate slipped quietly below for his gun. “Were you afraid?” I asked Mather. | Had Met It Before. “No," he replied, “I had seen much of this before, especially since the impris- onment of Gandhi. It was just passive resistance. Britishers, British ships everywhere met this obstinate, animal | blocking. Besides, I had a friend in the village, a man named Nawarhal. He could speak a little English and I counted on this.” Nawarhal lived far back at the edge | of the forest. Mather clambered slowly | over the side. splashed through the | river and reached the bank. A naked Indian, tall and menacing, blocked the way. “Nawarhal” shouted Mather to a man the distance. “Savvy, Na- warhal " | The Indian in front of Mather looked at him in silence. Mather began shoving through the | crowd. It was hot work. They would not stand aside for him. The old Yan- | kee skipper put his head down and| butted like a goat. The mate stood guard on deck, his gun held ready in his hands. It took Mather some time | to reach Nawarhal, who sat calmly/ smoking in his hut. Nawarhal could and would do nothing.

But Mather went ahead with his plan. He turned around in the river and backed up to the bar. The great stern wheel whirred, buzzed | and splashed. It churned the river into a vast, boiling vat of fosm. “I'm going to ram ye all,” roared Mather above the terrific din, and the natives could stand it no longer. They fled hastily to the bank and left Mather and his passengers and crew to pole their way stern first over the ba: Y very lucky” sald Mather. | EDUCATIONAL.

Bill, Ed and Jack, three gay young blades, fresh from Millsaps College in Mississippi, decided to see the world and become sailors. Accordingly they outfitted themselves with neat, white flannels, nifty blue coats with brass but- tons, gleaming white yachting caps and high-powered binoculars, slung over the shoulders in natty, snappy fashion. They then shipped aboard a tramp as ordinary seamen. This is not a fairy tale, but a true story, vouched for by by the bos'un, one Harry Larkin, a chunky man whose soul and body are carved from granite. He wouldn't lle. Lying takes imagination. The three college boys came aboard the Sforza at New Orleans. When a freighter pulls out of port every hand is, or ought to be, busy. But Bill, Ed and Jack had a large party of friends down to see them off on their great adventure, and they put in the frantic moments before casting off much as they would have if they had been first- class passengers aboard the Leviathan. They kissed the girls and waved to their parents and shouted bon vivants to their college comrades. They had a thh time, and Larkin, oh, evil Larkin, held his peace. them won't move even if you The boys reported for their first | |watch in dungarees.

Come on now, scat | or I'll knock holes in ye.” Returned All Togged Out. ‘They returned to the deck sheepish- | ly, a'l togged out for a tea party on a society commodore’s yacht. And it was those clothes they had to wear, binocu- lars, yachting cap and all, for three | weeks of fearsome weather as the Sforza beat up the Atlantic Coast on its way to Elizabeth, N. J. Through rain and hail, the boys shivered in their flannel trousers. The binoculars disappeared in the sea off Norfolk, but Larkin swore if they tried to get rid of the rest of their cutfit in the same manner, he'd drive them into port stark naked. And they knew Larkin well enough by this time to beliéve that he meant it. “‘Ho, ho, for a sailor’s life’ they sang when they came aboard” said Larkin, grinning, “ha, ha.” Bill, Ed and Jack jumped ship at Elizabeth. By this time they must be on their way back to the restful elms of Millsaps College. Note From Davy Jones. Davy Jones wrote a letter to Jimmy | Landls the other day, care of the 8. 8. | Glencove.
